How far can a parent move with joint custody in Colorado?
There is no distance set by law that parents with joint custody must live in proximity to one another. However, if you are the “custodial” parent, you are obligated to notify the other parent of your intent to move and propose a revised parenting plan. If they consent to your move, then you only need to get the new parenting plan approved by the court.
If they object to the move, the court will determine whether the move will be in the child’s best interests based on several factors, including the reason for your move, the other parent’s reason for objecting, the impact the move will have on the child, and more.
